Quid ergo attinet dicere: Nihil haberem, quod reprehenderem, si finitas cupiditates haberent? Ea, quae dialectici nunc tradunt et docent, nonne ab illis instituta sunt aut inventa sunt? Nam, ut sint illa vendibiliora, haec uberiora certe sunt. Ad quorum et cognitionem et usum iam corroborati natura ipsa praeeunte deducimur. Quia nec honesto quic quam honestius nec turpi turpius. Quae sunt igitur communia vobis cum antiquis, iis sic utamur quasi concessis;

Audeo dicere, inquit. Quae quo sunt excelsiores, eo dant clariora indicia naturae. Si sapiens, ne tum quidem miser, cum ab Oroete, praetore Darei, in crucem actus est. Atque haec coniunctio confusioque virtutum tamen a philosophis ratione quadam distinguitur. Cur deinde Metrodori liberos commendas? Ut placet, inquit, etsi enim illud erat aptius, aequum cuique concedere. At ille non pertimuit saneque fidenter: Istis quidem ipsis verbis, inquit; Nec enim, dum metuit, iustus est, et certe, si metuere destiterit, non erit;

Teneo, inquit, finem illi videri nihil dolere. Animum autem reliquis rebus ita perfecit, ut corpus; Scientiam pollicentur, quam non erat mirum sapientiae cupido patria esse cariorem. Idem adhuc; Quorum sine causa fieri nihil putandum est. Summum ením bonum exposuit vacuitatem doloris; Hoc dictum in una re latissime patet, ut in omnibus factis re, non teste moveamur. Sic enim maiores nostri labores non fugiendos tristissimo tamen verbo aerumnas etiam in deo nominaverunt.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sin tantum modo ad indicia veteris memoriae cognoscenda, curiosorum. Et non ex maxima parte de tota iudicabis? Illa videamus, quae a te de amicitia dicta sunt. Ergo opifex plus sibi proponet ad formarum quam civis excellens ad factorum pulchritudinem? Recte dicis; Atqui reperies, inquit, in hoc quidem pertinacem; Itaque hoc frequenter dici solet a vobis, non intellegere nos, quam dicat Epicurus voluptatem. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. At quicum

ioca seria, ut dicitur, quicum arcana, quicum occulta omnia? Non risu potius quam oratione eiciendum?

Est enim tanti philosophi tamque nobilis audacter sua decreta defendere. Piso, familiaris noster, et alia multa et hoc loco Stoicos irridebat: Quid enim?

Et nemo nimium beatus est; Quid iudicant sensus? Torquatus, is qui consul cum Cn. Equidem e Cn. Quid enim de amicitia statueris utilitatis causa expetenda vides. Quodcumque in mentem incideret, et quodcumque tamquam occurreret. Nam si amitti vita beata potest, beata esse non potest. Suo genere perveniant ad extremum;

Nihilo beatiorem esse Metellum quam Regulum. Verum tamen cum de rebus grandioribus dicas, ipsae res verba rapiunt; Nec vero pietas adversus deos nec quanta iis gratia debeatur sine explicatione naturae intellegi potest. Quae ista amicitia est? Ut in geometria, prima si dederis, danda sunt omnia. Sed ea mala virtuti magnitudine obruebantur.

Tamen a proposito, inquam, aberramus. Illum mallem levares, quo optimum atque humanissimum virum, Cn. Sed ad rem redeamus; Mihi enim erit isdem istis fortasse iam utendum. Vide igitur ne non debeas verbis nostris uti, sententiis tuis. Verum esto; Nam quid possumus facere melius? Nunc de hominis summo bono quaeritur; Ego vero

isti, inquam, permitto.

Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. Fortitudinis quaedam praecepta sunt ac paene leges, quae effeminari virum vetant in dolore. Zenonis est, inquam, hoc Stoici. Sed plane dicit quod intellegit. Ergo hoc quidem apparet, nos ad agendum esse natos. Nec lapathi suavitatem acupenseri Galloni Laelius anteponebat, sed suavitatem ipsam neglegebat;

Aut, Pylades cum sis, dices te esse Orestem, ut moriare pro amico? Ex eorum enim scriptis et institutis cum omnis doctrina liberalis, omnis historia. Sit ista in Graecorum levitate perversitas, qui maledictis insectantur eos, a quibus de veritate dissentiunt. Itaque contra est, ac dicitis; Neque enim disputari sine reprehensione nec cum iracundia aut pertinacia recte disputari potest. Mihi enim erit isdem istis fortasse iam utendum.
